So, personally, I'm not eating anything if someone coughs on it or around it. I'm not even buying fresh fruit and veggies at the store right now.
I can't find any information about heating the virus to kill it.

- dpcan 7y agoApples? Lettuce? I mean, I cook some carrots, potatoes, broccoli, yes, but I don't want to risk cross contamination at this time.
- DoreenMichele 7y agoPan fried apples are quite good and not hard to do. A little nutmeg and cinnamon. A sprinkle of brown sugar. Maybe a dash of cooking oil. Yum-my. Also, you can go looking for historical dishes. Early Americans had recipes that were heavy on things like cabbage and apples together because it might be all you had left in the cellar towards the end of winter.
